Excellent! Rebooting now would make things quite hard to recover indeed.

Virtually nothing is working now! I have one active SSH session that is kind of working.......

Is there a way to install what was removed using apt-get and the debs I have left in /var/cache/apt/archives ?
Looks like you've attempted to upgrade with the SDK repo enabled, causing conflicts with busybox.

I'm not familiar enough with Debian packaging to be sure what you should do from here, but I think none of that would work anymore. As I understand it, you are currently stuck with no tar, and probably no shell, so installing packages may not work...

First order of business, then, would be to get busybox back on, and all relevant links reinstated. You've got a busybox in /mnt/initfs, but it's linked against a different libc, so you can't just drop it in here...

All I'm thinking is to rip busybox out of another system (on an SD, if you have one).

A quick look thru this thread shows we're talking N800s and N810s. It's not simply a case of OK for N810, not OK for N800, is it?
Sorry, I havent had time to read all 30 pages...

There have been a couple of observations that N800s are fine and N810s break, but it's not that simple. While more trouble is reported with N810s, some N810s went fine, and some N800s failed; I don't think there's a significant correlation.

as a data point, then...

My unit is an N800, not an N810

I don't have rtcomm-beta installed.


...but, I do have Pidgin (and, thus, libpurple) installed from the Chinook extras repository.

I have gtar and I have a SSH shell, but no ls, cp, etc. I manageed to gtar up my archives and /home directories. How do I use apt-get to install a local .deb in my archives directory? Yes I have busybox in /mnt/initfs/bin but I can't seem to execute anything there. I'm also running this OS off of SD, so I suppose I *could* reboot to the flash OS, mount the SD OS and ah, I'm freaking out, can you or anyone give me a roadmap or have I fubar?

N810, failed :-(
(After the update, hardware buttons didn't work anymore, so I was unable to reboot. Had to remove the battery. Now stuck in endless rebooting loop)

Are there other ways to re-flash on Windows than through the Nokia software program? I've got the booting problem for one of my tablets (n810), but the update wizard doesn't recognize it (pushing the upper one on the tablet's front).

Have others had success on flashing with the wizard? Most of the posts in the thread seem to concentrate on other platforms.

@st5150: Any dpkg? :)

yes!

:/etc# dpkg
dpkg: need an action option

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages[*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL)[*].

Options marked[*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
I've never used dpkg though... help?

ps- want to "talk" in my other thread to keep this one from being further cluttered? http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=23986

Also, disagreements. I disagree. :)

If I see the word 'shenanigans', one more time... :P

...and finally, for my one serious answer in this reply...

I have an N800 and it failed for me the first time. I had to flash back to the original Diablo release and then let it update until it was finally up-to-date.
